Tender Cruelty - Dark Olympus 9
The highly anticipated ninth instalment in the Dark Olympus series is a scorching modern retelling of the romance of Zeus and Hera, from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katee Robert.
***
I was his wife. His lover. His sworn enemy. The ice queen to Olympus’s most hated king.
The barrier that’s protected Olympus for generations has fallen. The enemy has breached the gates and the Thirteen are scrambling to protect themselves, their loved ones, and the city they’ve sworn to protect. At least they would be if they weren’t at each other’s throats instead.
Hera has no intention of letting her husband, Zeus, survive the oncoming storm. But despite the white-hot hatred burning between them, when Hera and Zeus are forced to work together, enmity crystallises into something brighter. Hotter. Too powerful to deny or destroy.
Hera never bartered on falling in love with the man she married – the man she once swore to kill. But now, standing back-to-back in the ruins of Olympus, she may be forced to admit that she’s been wrong about Zeus all these years…and there may be something about their marriage worth saving if they can survive long enough to turn sworn enemies into something more.
Katee Robert breathes new life into Greek mythology’s Hera and Zeus with an irresistible enemies to lovers romance that promises to take readers on a darkly seductive journey.

A Wild Card Kiss - Ballers and Babes 2
In the third book in the Ballers and Babes series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely charms with a sexy, flirty sports romcom featuring a pro football single dad who's never forgotten a red-hot kiss from years ago. Now the object of his memories is a jilted bride determined to make a new start.
For Katie Madigan – who catches her groom kissing another woman just minutes before they head to the altar – there’s nothing more apt than ditching the whole event for a drink at the bowling alley bar down the street. She’s just about had enough of men altogether when in walks a deliciously charming local football hero, Harlan Taylor – the perfect distraction for Katie’s heartbreak.
Another drink turns into a one-night stand with hunky Harlan. When he asks in the morning if they could get together again, how could she say no? But then Katie learns his football team just hired her yoga studio to teach the star player, which means Harlan is officially off limits.
Trouble is, the more time Katie spends working with Harlan, the sexy single dad who dotes on his daughter, the more she’s feeling things far too soon. There’s no way this can end well…but tell that to her runaway heart.
A Wild Card Kiss continues Lauren Blakely’s charming, sexy sports romance series in style – with steamy chemistry and unforgettable moments that are an absolute touchdown.
Atlas of Unknowable Things
High in the Rocky Mountains on a secluded campus, sits Hildegard College, a celebrated institution known for its scientific innovation and its sprawling, botanical gardens. Historian Robin Quain has been awarded a residency to examine Hildegard’s impressive collection of ancient manuscripts, but she has a secret. She’s actually on the hunt for an artifact - one she must find before her former best friend turned professional rival gets his hands on it first. But Hildegard has secrets of its own. Strange sounds echo across the alpine lake, lights flicker through the pines, and the faculty seem more like Jazz-age glitterati than academics. And then there’s the professor who holds the key to Robin’s research. She vanished suddenly last spring. What exactly did she do at the college, and why does no one want to talk about he? s Robin searches for answers, an unknown source sends her a series of cryptic messages that makes her question whether she’s the one doing the hunting, or whether someone is hunting her. Drawing on historical, botanical, and occult research, and steeped in the gothic tradition, Atlas of Unknowable Things considers what it means to search for meaning in the scientific, only to come face to face with the sublime.

But as the treatment progresses and her body begins to fail, she stumbles upon something sinister living and spreading within the hospital.

Star Wars: The Mask of Fear
Before the Rebellion, the Empire reigns, in book one of a trilogy told through the eyes of Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Saw Gerrera - for fans of Andor.
"In order to ensure the security and continuing stability, the Republic will be reorganized into the first Galactic Empire! For a safe and secure society!"
With one speech, and thunderous applause, Chancellor Palpatine brought the era of the Republic crashing down. In its place rose the Galactic Empire. Across the galaxy, people rejoiced and celebrated the end to war-and the promises of tomorrow. But that tomorrow was a lie. Instead the galaxy became twisted by the cruelty and fear of the Emperor's rule.
During that terrifying first year of tyranny, Mon Mothma, Saw Gerrera, and Bail Organa face the encroaching darkness. One day, they will be three architects of the Rebel Alliance. But first, each must find purpose and direction in a changing galaxy, while harboring their own secrets, fears, and hopes for a future that may never come, unless they act.
The High Heaven
In 1967, on the night of the first Apollo mission, a child named Izzy is orphaned when the doomsday cult she was born into clashes with the sheriff in the high desert of New Mexico. She’s taken in by a struggling rancher who is trying to keep his mind from falling apart as NASA rocket tests encroach on his outer range. Inspired by the true story of a UFO cult in a village near White Sands, this novel traces Izzy Gently’s whole life: from tragedy on the ranch, through addiction and a rich cast of eccentrics in Texas, to New Orleans, where Izzy is haunted by her past even as she uses lessons from childhood to counsel people who have lost the ability to see the moon. In The High Heaven, Joshua Wheeler explores American piety as it mutates over the course of the Space Age, as technology changes notions of both humanity and the heavens. Shot through with the speculative while paying homage to three iconic genres - neo-Western, picaresque, and Southern gothic - Izzy’s life story becomes a mirror for the warping of manifest destiny and, ultimately, a testament to the human will to seek meaning from the universe. Suffused with the absurdist history of American space travel and the wide-open landscapes of the Southwest, The High Heaven chronicles a larger-than-life adventure of one extraordinary woman who, despite tragedy, never loses sight of redemption.
Never Over
Twenty-five-year-old Paige Lancaster is one contract away from earning a living doing her favourite thing in the world: writing songs. But when a music industry professional suggests she might be holding back with her lyrics to lessen the heartbreak of an old flame, Paige doubts if her music is ready to be heard. In a rare, impulsive move, Paige reaches out to Liam Bishop after four years of no-contact to ask him for a small favour: date her, and then re-break her heart, all so she can remember what those big, songworthy emotions felt like. And since Liam is the one who first set Paige on this career path, he hesitantly agrees. Across two months of Liam’s summer work travel, the exes are forced to share hotel beds, rehash the past, and date in the present, all while navigating the building attraction between them they both swore was the one line of their agreement they wouldn’t cross. But when it becomes near impossible not to act on their rippling chemistry, and as ever intensifying feelings blur reality with what’s driven by the music, Paige and Liam will both have to decide which is more important: art for the sake of it, or love over everything.
Rodinný sjezd
,,Jsou chvíle, kdy člověk nemůže otevřeně říci, co si myslí. Jsou země, kde takové chvíle trvají celou řadu let. Někteří lidé v takových zemích prožili celý život."
V Rodinném sjezdu se Ivan Kraus opět vrací do rodinného kruhu a k rodinným legendám, aby nám představil momentky z rodinného alba, z doby, kdy se ten či onen člen rodiny dostal do nechtěného sporu s každodenním šikanováním policejního režimu. Čtenář se zde opět setká se známými postavami rodičů a sourozenců, bude ale zřejmě překvapen citovějším a jímavějším pohledem autora při prolínání tragických a komických momentů. Přes jisté "filosofické zmoudření" však Ivan Kraus v žádném případě neztrácí svůj vtip ani typický smysl pro humor.

The Wolf and His King
Step into the resplendent courts and forests of medieval Brittany in this spellbinding retelling of the 12th-century tale of Bisclavret the werewolf . . .
The wolf-sickness strikes always without warning, stealing Bisclavret's body and confusing his mind. Since boyhood, he hasn't dared leave his isolated holdings - not to beg the return of his father's lost estate, not to seek brotherhood among the court, not even to win the knighthood he yearns for. But when a new king ascends, Bisclavret must deliver his kiss of fealty or answer for the failure.
Half an exile himself, the young king is intrigued by this uneasy, rough-hewn nobleman. Bisclavret seems a perfect knight: bold, strong, and merciful. But he keeps his secrets close, and the king's longings are not for counsel alone. As his fascination grows, the barriers between them multiply, until one day Bisclavret vanishes beyond reach. Battling desperation and grief, the king stands alone to face the greatest threats to his kingdom, with only duty to his people between him and ruin - duty, and the steadfast loyalty of the strangest wolf . . .
Steeped in the texture of its source material and rendered with a precision of language that feels intimate and timeless, The Wolf and His King will transport you to a fireside - unmissable for fans of Samantha Shannon and Madeline Miller.
Autobiography
It may be useful that there should be some record of an education which was unusual and remarkableJohn Stuart Mill (1806-73), philosopher, economist, and political thinker, was the most prominent figure of nineteenth century English intellectual life and his work has continuing significance for contemporary debates about ethics, politics and economics. His father, James Mill, a close associate of the utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, assumed responsibility for his eldest son''s education, teaching him ancient Greek at the age of three and equipping him with a broad knowledge of the physical and moral sciences of the day. Mill''s Autobiography was written to give an account of the extraordinary education he received at the hands of his father and to express his gratitude to those he saw as influencing his thought, but it is also an exercise in self-analysis and an attempt to vindicate himself against claims that he was the product of hothousing. The Autobiography also acknowledges the substantial contribution made to Mill''s thinking and writings by Harriet Taylor, whom he met when he was twenty-four, and married twenty-one years later, after the death of her husband. The Autobiography helps us understand more fully some of the principal commitments that Mill''s political philosophy has become famous for, in particular his appreciation of the diversity, plurality, and complexity of ways of life and their possibilities. This edition of the Autobiography includes additional manuscript materials from earlier drafts which demonstrate the conflicting imperatives that influenced Mill''schoice of exactly what to say about some of the most significant episodes and relationships in his life. Mark Philps introduction explores the forces that led Mill to write the ''life'' and points to the tensions in the text and in Mill''s life.
